Informed Choice chartered financial planner Nick Bamford presented a webcast this morning called seven things you need to know about your retirement income options.
Within this 30 minute webcast, Nick described the main things you need to consider if you are retiring in 2012 and have to make decisions about your pension benefits.
The webcast covered decisions about tax-free cash, considerations when choosing a conventional annuity, and the alternatives to annuity purchase including unsecured pensions.
With falling stock markets and low gilt yields, making decisions about retirement income options in 2012 will be more challenging than ever before.
There is a wide range of choice for people reaching retirement and converting their hard-earned pension funds into an income for life; making these often lasting decisions requires careful consideration.
